Losing the seventh game of an exciting series against the champions from two seasons ago is not something to be blamed for. The management at Los Angeles Clippers knows this well, as they have decided to continue the sports project they are in, trusting that the duo of James Harden-Kawhi Leonard is the key to attract signings that will improve the squad.
The tremendous investment made with the new stadium and logo change, marking a new era in the franchise, must be followed by sporting results. Therefore, the offices of Los Angeles Clippers are already working with an absolute priority; resolving the contractual situation of James Harden, whom they consider a fundamental piece to compete for the championship in the coming years. Ensuring his presence until the 2026/2027 season, just like Kawhi Leonard, is the intention, setting a clear timeline to work towards the championship.
Once they achieve this, they will be a very active team in the trade market, having top-level pieces to negotiate with. They are not expected to get involved in signing any top-tier stars, but they will be able to part ways with medium to high-range pieces and relinquish draft picks without hesitation, in order to focus all their efforts on building a championship team for the next two seasons. James Harden and Kawhi Leonard will be the fundamental pieces of the project.
